Articles: My Thoughts | | Should NRI's feel Guilty... | |
|
| Hi again!!
I am neither proud nor exited of being an NRI and i am not guilty as well.And i guess ppl in india also dont feel that way.Since every tom dick n harry goes to some place abroad it doesnt really matter for the ppl living in india.And i dont really think one has to contribute to the society as well.And i also think the notion 'if i get a good salary in india i would come to india'.Dont you think we r doing it(what ever it is) jus for ourselves?Then y these double standards like 'WE R MAKING INDIA PROUD' and 'WE R MAKING DONATIONS' e.t.c .We came here for ourselves we did not come here to make India proud.I dont think it is selfishness to go abraod thats y i dont feel guilty.

hi
well, actually It does not make a difference whether one is an NRI or a RI when it comes to the aspects you have mentioned here.
there are people who abandon their parents even here. Perhaps there are some there too. alas, people fail to realise one thing-
most of the people go to US or any other nation just because hez got a job to do there. If there are good jobs in India and you are promised a good pay, i bet more than half of those NRI s might return and settle here....excepting a few who are too crazy abt life there and who hate life here like anything(don't look at this like that...there are indeed people like that and i am close to some of them too!)
But, in one aspect, i guess i can't accept your view. Contribution to the country does not mean contributing to the upliftment of your family. that, anyway you'll do. contributing to ur family is not a great thing...you are bound to do that. But, what ofcourse many people fail to realise is that one should contribute to the society too. why? you may question. An average human learns & gains a lot from the society in his life time. You may call...all my benifits are because they r from govt or because my parents pay tax. But, who is govt? isn't it people? any one who hasn't become too materialistic will realise his duty to mankind at some time or the other.
You mentioned abt your donations to chartities and all.... i was surprised..do so many people esp NRI's really do that?????
I am not aware of facts & figures but, i never saw such people in practical exp. people come, party with frens and relatives here, give gifts, tour the places buy some things they feel cheaper here(!!!!) and leave.(most of them)
anyways, one need not feel guilty of being an NRI....those who needs to feel so will however be too far from feeling so....only sensitive &sensible people always feel the guilt though there is no need....if people were sensible enough, then, there would have been no such NRI's who need to feel guilty either. this applies to all RI's too!

jyothi garu,
V should not feel any guilty statying abroad. In fact we should feel proud that we r making our country (india) rich by sending money.
We know though we are staying abroad, our heart and mind are always in india. our thinking is always about our left feelings in india.
kaasey chettukey raalluu visuruthaaru.. (ppl throw stones on fruit giving tree). So eevaani manamu pattichinchukovadda..
If our country can accom facilities and job oppu then why we would hv come all along so far.
After this software resolution we hv developed our country , specially our state (AP) alot.
The real estate value improved,call centers r giving alot of oppu, everyone is eager to do computers as it became must as a part of communication.
Our investments are giving oppu in our country.
So we should really feel happy that we are developing our country. unless if ur selfish and want to spend all ur money in the country where ur working.

well said jyothi and kavitha
why feel guilty just because some one are showing you as villians?? we cannot make everyone happy. if our parents have no problem with us in leaving India, what bussiness does others have. Ofcouse its parents who insists lot of us to go abroad. They marry of girls particularly to boys living in USA. Then why should they feel neglected.
As for me my parents are really understanding. There are times when I planned to go India and my father told me that it is not necessary.As we are always chatting and seeing each other on webcameras we dont really feel distant. How much are the sons and daughters who are in India doing for their parents. Just because you visit them at their house doesnot mean you are fulfilling your responsibility. Responsibility comes within.
My sister used to live in madhyapradesh, she could't come on time when we had emergency in family. now will anyone say that you should live within 200km of your parents home? Is it practical?
Just because you expect that there might be some medical emergency some time does not mean you will not leave India.

Jyothi garu,
money is not the only thing which matters. You said that after earning money we can go back to our parents....but i don't think we have a limit for money if we earn 50k we want to earn 100k and go back and when we earn 100k we want 200k and it always continues and i don't think it is very practical that our parents would come and stay here . can they adjust to this kind of an environment and culture?giving money to charity organisations is a very good thing but can donating couple of dollars would make us releave from all the responsibilities. our parents would be staying all alone in our country and suppose if they have any medical emergency then who would support them? can sending couple of dollars would make them feel happy...

Hello jyothy garu,
baaga chepparandi...just imagine a situation where all the indians living outside India in places like USA,canada,UK,Autralia,gulf countries etc etc...feel guilty and decide to go back to India.....can India really accomodate all its own people? there is nothing to feel bad abt living away from India...seva cheyyalane uddesam vunte yekkadaninchayinaa cheyyachu...infact I feel we are helping India by staying away.....by improving our own standard of living here...we are helping our own people to improve....which means the country at large....
